Sidbury Fair Day & Campaign Questionnaire

Great time today at Sidbury Fair Day as members of Save The Red Lion Campaign engaged with people at its stall. As a result the Campaign has new Supporters who have signed up.

In addition the day was an opportunity to explain face to face with people what the Campaign is doing & why. Adverts for the Campaign’s Public meeting on 24 September were distributed, as were copies of a questionnaire which asks what sort of pub the local community would like the Red Lion to be if the community purchased it.

The Campaign needs to draw up a viable business plan for the Red Lion that reflects the aspirations of the local community & the information obtained from the questionnaire will assist in informing this. Please complete & either hand the form in at the forthcoming Public Meeting, post it to the address at the bottom of the questionnaire or send back electronically to the Campaign email address.

Campaign to retain the Red Lion pub in Sidbury village East Devon

The Red Lion pub has been put up for sale by its owners Punch Taverns. This could lead to the end of the Red Lion, the only pub in Sidbury village.

The Red Lion is in the heart of the village. The Red Lion is an asset of the community.

The Red Lion needs to be retained. It also needs to be allowed to flourish. This blog site is committed to these objectives & to championing the Save The Red Lion Campaign.
